Marc Gallagher of www.LibertyMaven.com recently posted this trial news show. It’s called “Freedom Watch” and is a 60 minute injection of raw liberty hosted by Judge Andrew Napolitano. You can try watching the second hour-long trial show from this link. Peter Schiff, Stephen Moore from the Wall Street Journal, Cody Willard, Ron Paul, Tracey Burns and Lew Rockwell from the Mises Institute and lewrockwell.com all took turns as the Judge moderated. The hour of audio from the first show is available here.
Prior to the watching the show, I had only come across the Judge’s name once or twice before as by personal choice I’ve been boycotting FOX since they blackballed Ron Paul from the New Hampshire presidential debate a year ago. I’ve decided to remove my boycott if FOX airs this show – although it will probably only apply to NFL games and Freedom Watch.
Topics ranged from the Obama Bailout and Ron Paul’s complaint that no one had time to read this important bill, the Republican-Democrat duopoly, the Constitution and the rule of law, CEO bonuses, Peter Schiff took potshots at the dollar, the propping of the housing market.
The show was bustling as guests were constantly coming and going without the usual formatting and quite possibly the most entertaining moment in the impromptu show was when Schiff, well-endowed with the gift of gab, found himself forced into silence while switching a microphone back-and-forth between Napolitano and another FOX commentator. My favorite quote was from Lew Rockwell:
“Well the government understands what’s good for the government. They understand they are ripping us off. Federal Treasuries are certificates of guaranteed expropriation, that’s about all we can expect from the government – more expropriation. One thing we can do besides fighting this ideologically I’ll just say is buy gold. As long as people will accept your dollars for gold, buy gold.”
With the recent hubbub about the Re-elect Obama in 2012 Act – I mean the Great Depression Act of 2009 – it would be a rare find indeed to have a show air where eco-politics and liberty is debated in a serious fashion.
The show will never go live unless there is some support for it, so if you like it please feel free to join the Facebook group “Fans of Fox’s Freedom Watch That Want To See it on the Air” or better yet send a quick email to FOX at yourcomments@foxnews.com
Who knows? Perhaps the rEVOLution can finally hit the mainstream media and Americans can start realizing that there is no easy “bailout” this time around. When Obama’s “100 Days” honeymoon finally ends, it may result in an awakening for a few more converts for liberty, freedom, prosperity, and free markets.
That is, unless you leave in a dream world where Obama will make everything alright. Wasn’t one of the campaign promises from that charlatan that the troops would start heading home from Iraq within a month of his inauguration?
Well, it is February 25th and the inauguration was January 20th, so time’s up. Fact is, those troops are not coming home anyways. They are off to Chaostan.

I would be absolutely amazed if Fox or any other station would air a show like this. Might actually get me to watch a little TV if they did!
Why didn’t they pay attention to these guys last year? Other than the Judge, the rest of them were virtually ignored. Nice to see a little light on these ideas though
What seems to be the focus of this show ( my thoughts only ) is to get us to choose between the monstrosity we had or the monstrosity that might come.
What a farce. Anything coming off Fox is going to slide into lets blame everyone but the initiators of the crime. In fact “let’s re-elect those Charlatans because, see, the new isn’t any better than the old.” Either way the people lose. We need to thoroughly cleanse this corruption, and we need to start now.
The sad thing is people fall for this crap. I listen to Rush Limbaugh every day. This is the new Republican mantra. If you don’t believe me, start listening to them. I listen to them to see what kind of snake oil that portion of the people are going to feed us.
The good thing is we have the ability to reject it. The bad thing is we might not.
